Summer Flexible Hours

As in past years, Skidmore is again offering summer flex-time hours to non-exempt
staff employees, effective May 18, 2015 through August 28, 2015. The guidelines for
flex-time are summarized in the following options:

Option One: An employee may work a schedule of five days per week, seven (7) hours per day plus
a one (1) hour unpaid lunch period daily. Examples: Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-3:30
p.m.; 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Option Two: An employee may work a four-day per week schedule by extending the seven-hour work
day to eight (8) hours and 45 minutes per day plus a one (1) hour unpaid lunch period.
Example: Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-5:15 p.m.

Option Three: An employee may take a one-half (30 minute) unpaid lunch period in place of a one
(1) hour unpaid lunch period daily. Examples: Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.;
(5 day schedule) or Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-4:45 p.m.; 8:00 a.m.-5:15 p.m. (4 day
schedule).

All requests for a summer flex schedule require advance approval by the employee's
supervisor and/or department head. Although there may be instances where the operational
needs of an office or department preclude the use of flex-time, the accommodation
of flexible summer work schedule requests is encouraged as much as possible. Consistent
with government regulations, employees may not use more than one-half of their one
hour lunch period to reduce their overall work schedules.

If you have any questions regarding any aspect of the summer flex-time benefit, please
